To man 'just over the hill' in the
tin camps, the efforts on the part of q
certain blackmailer TO blacken the tin
eye of this neck-o-woods, would seem
to have resulted in benefit, rather
than an injury. 1t is now clearly cyl.
dent that Tommy's judgment was at
fault in the selection Of weapon with
which to kill the tin industry of the
southern Hills; otherwise he would not
have chosen the boomerang, which, had
he been possessed Of the wisdom of the
average school boy, he would have

Some Other Tin Reef.

The Rapid Journal of the 2Sth ult.
contains an article in which the CHRoN-
ICLE is accused of being unjust in giving
publicity to the statements of resident
of this place relating to what he saw at
the Lincoln fair. What appears to be
most distasteful to the Journal is the
statement made by the Custer man, that
the Tin Reef samples were labelled
Pennington county. The Journal claims
that there is mine of that name in PEN
nington county, and that the samples re-
ferred to were taken from that mine,
which may be the case so far as we know;
in any event We earnestly hope that the
Journal and the Custer man may
eventually reach an adjustment of the
matter which may be satisfactory to all
concerned. We leave the matter with
them.

Counter County Fair.

Custer county's initial fair, which
opens at Hermosa, on Monday, the Bird
inst, and continues for three days
promises to be a very decided success.
Much interest is manifest throughout
the county, and an extensive and
variegated exhibit seems fairly assured.
The grounds purchased by the associa-
ton embrace an area Of about "a acres,
which is favorably situated for the pur-
pose in view; upon which has been
erected, at cost of 81 200, number of
buildings of sufficient capacity to meet
present requirements, and which will
be enlarged to meet the demands Of the
future. A half mile race track, which
is conceded to be one Of the finest in
the territory, has been completed, upon
which course number Of attractive
races for valuable purses are billed for
this occasion. This association would
seem to have ctarted out under the most
favorable auspices, as evidenced by the
fact Of their having placed, thus early
every share Of the stock held under their
charter result which should be
highly gratifying TO all who feel an in
terest in the future welfare Of Custer
county, which is the chief object Of the
association to foster and encourage.
We trust that this first meeting Of the
Custer County Agricultural, Stock and
Mineral Association may be largely at
tended and literally patronized by the
farmers, stock growers, miners, mer-
chants and all classes of residents Of
the county, to the end, that the associa-
ton may advance with the growing
progress of Custer county, which now
promises to equal, if not surpass all
other counties Of the great territory in
the extent and variety of it's re sources.

Iron Hill.

Referring TO this highly promising
property the Deadwood Times of the
9th ult. says:
ut is to day the greatest mine in the
world; fully equal to the Comstock in
its palmiest days. At the Home Run
shaft the situation battles belief. The
shaft is down 100 feet where it connects
by drift with Iron Hill shaft No. 9. A
contract has been let To sink the Home
Run shaft 100 feet deeper, and before
starting on this work station was to be
put in on the 100-foot level. To max @
room for the station, excavations we're
necessary, and as preliminary heavy
blast was put in the ledge Of ore that at
that point is nine feet in width. This
shot turned out, it is estimated, not less
than forty tons Of ore, forty-fve is the
lowest estimate, some Of it in chunks
that will weigh thousand pounds. 1t
is wonderfully rich ore, the estimated
value being not legs than $1,000 to the
ton. The Times man who saw it, and
he is good Judge Of quantity and
quality, puts the value Of the ore by
that one shot at not less than SIS 1000"

The Oefrichs Abattolr Co.

This Office is in receipt Of a circular
issued by the Oelrichs Abatoir company
and Anglo American Cattle company of
Oelrchs, Fall River county, Dakota, and
addressed to the people Of the Black
Hills, in which the intentions Of that
company are outlined, and which may
be briefly stated as follows:
Realizing the fact that "the people of
the Black Hills, situated in the heart of
a great cattle country, are paying higher
prices, and getting poorer meats than
any other people in the United States"
the company has organized what is to
be known as the Oelrichs Abattoir Com
pany, and are now erecting a plant at
their present headquarters, Oelrichs,
where they propose to save to the meat
consumers Of the Black Hills, the wages
of 100 men, and the value Of all offall
&C., which is now practically lost, which
will inure to the benefit Of the con-
sumer in giving them cheaper and
better meats than they have heretofore
received. The company propose to sell
principally at wholesale, but in towns
where they fail to make contracts with
local butchers, retail shops will be open
ed. The company will fill orders for
quarters or cuts from towns where they
have no wholesale customers. Thirty
beeves and fifteen hogs will be butcher
ed daily in the start, which number will
be increased as the demands of the
Hills may require

Another Property Bonded.

The Harney Peak Tin company have
recently taken bond upon the prop
erty cf Mr.. Winnie, mile and half
southwest of Hill City, consisting of an
improved farm, saw mill and water
right. The consideration named in the
bond is $50 900, and the time fixed for
the payment Of the same is December
25th Of the present year. This action
upon the part Of the Harney Peak COM
pany may be regarded as straw which
indicates very conclusively which way
the English winds are blowing at this
juncture in the history of the Black

KISS OF THE WIFE THAT'S rRUh

KrSS OF TIE WIFE THAT'S TRUE.
There's the kiss pressed on the lips Of the child
OF lovers when parting at night;
The kiss of mother our sorrow beguiled.
Making the face CHEEKY and bright;
The kiss SO silly of girls who meet;
Who so blithlessly kiss in lieu;
But the kiss that lasts and makes life sweet
Is the kiss of the wife that's true.
Kisses in kinds as countless as sands
offriendship, betrayal. deceit;
The kiss on the eyes, the forehead and hands,
The kiss that is awkward and neat;
The kiss that was givea-the one we steal,
The kiss that aSakes us all through
But the sweetest kiss that the lips can feel
Is the kiss of the wife that's true.
There's the kiss OF youth and the kiss Of years,
And the kiss we lay in the grave;
Tho kiss We press in sunshine and tears
The kiss for the brow Of the brave;
But the kiss that is the kiss of life,
To him who the ganuts run through
That brings surcease 10 anguish and strife
Is the kiss of the wife that's true.
